Biography

U.S. Southern Colonies Project logo
Elizabeth (Wyatt) Cate was a North Carolina colonist.

Elizabeth Wyatt was born 1712 in Henrico County, Virginia to parents Edward Wyatt and Frances Sykes. She married Robert Cate 1728 in Henrico, Virginia.[1] They later moved to Orange County, North Carolina.

When the father of his father in law (Elizabeth's grandfather ?) made out his will it named ELIZABETH, left the house/plantation where Robert and Elizabeth were living, to a Wyatt. Robert Cate was one of the witnesses.[2]

Children:

  1. Thomas (known as Thomas Road, due to being surveyor) 1725
  2. Sarah1725,
  3. Robert1727
  4. RichardM1730,
  5. Joseph1736,
  6. Charles1739,
  7. Thomas1740,
  8. Ann1742,
  9. John1753

Robert Cate had "tenure" of a plantation, which belonged originally to Edward Mathews. This plantation was near Curles Meetinghouse on Four Mile Creek, Henrico, Virginia. Perhaps he was only "renting". He and Elizabeth decided to move across the James River into Prince George County. The Quit Rent Rolls of 1704 show him owning 100 acres there.

Robert signed marriage certificates for marriages held at the Burleigh Meeting House about 1723 and 1724 in North Carolina.

Accounts of estate of Timothy Bridges mention Robert in 1723 as it was recorded in the minutes of the Prince George County Court.

Elizabeth Wyatt Cate passed away November 5, 1765

Another source indicates a similar Elizabeth was born about 1712. She is the daughter of Edward Wyatt and Frances Newton and married John Cocke. [3]

Hi! Profiles for two different Edwards were merged - one of which was this Elizabeth's father. His profile is now Wyatt-195 (was Wyatt-3551, which was merged away; the other Edward, son of Conquest, is now Wyatt-7294).

I believe I restored the trusted list for the other Edward as it had been. However, I think that the trusted list for this Elizabeth's father Edward (son of Nicholas) is not correct. I'm currently a profile manager, but intend to remove myself in the coming week. If you would like to be added to the trusted list or as a manager of the profile for Edward, son of Nicholas - Wyatt-195 - please send me a private message to let me know, or send a trusted list request & I can get that done for you. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Cheers, Liz

Does this profile still need to be project managed and protected ? There doesn't appear to be any controversy or duplication problem currently. No major edits since 2017.

Given that no one responded to a similar question two years ago, I think you can move ahead and remove the protection, David.

Change 3 January "updated US Southern Colonist template to sticker" - but...

There are three parts of project management - PPP, project account, & project box. If project account, then project box. & if PPP, then the profile must have project box/project account.

So the questions are...

(1) Does the profile need to be PPP?

(2) If so, what project will be manager?

If US Southern Colonies does not want to be manager, Virginia Project can be - just add wtvirginia[at]googlegroups.com as manager (WikiTree-41) &

{US History|sub-project=Virginia|category=Henrico County, Virginia}

(double up the braces front & back to make the template work correctly)

Thanks!
